Duolingo was launched in mid-November last year as an app optimized for iPhone and iPod touch only. Now, at long last, the app has been updated with universal support and, as a result, native iPad compatibility.

“Duolingo has been fully redesigned for iPad, the perfect device for learning!” notes the Duolingo team. “You’ll have more screen space to browse your skill tree, see friends, and type in answers.”

What’s more, Duolingo 2.0 features landscape mode support, not only on iPad but also on iPhone and iPod touch.

Also regardless of which iDevice you use, you can access your stats, strengthen your skills, and see the leaderboard through Duolingo’s new sidebar, which happens to be always visible on iPad.
